Taking a road trip up to San Simeon this weekend. I was thinking of spending an afternoon one of the days in Solveng. Is it cool there

It depends who you want to attract. A lot of girls would probably go for that.

I dont even know what I want TBH. I do want a relationship. Just not sure if I am ready for one yet. I'm sure if I meet the right girl it'll work out. But I wouldnt mind just getting laid either. A sense of humor is a must.
I'm a simple as fuck man so I dont need to be attracting no super serious women.

You want a relationship but don't want a serious woman?
LookAtMeGo

I mean like... super serious as in doesnt like to have fun and is too wrapped up in their career and shit... sorta. I know what I mean anyway. I'd be happy living in a trailer park if I was with someone I loved. Id like a girl who would be the same. And can laugh at a fart joke.

Oh ok, I thought you meant serious about a relationship. Yeah, well who wants a super serious person lol?

When I see someones bio say things like "I like a man who is super driven and career oriented" I swipe no cause that aint me. My only drive is for the sex and I'm pretty into fitness. But outside of fitness I dont really have any goals or passions. I know a lot of girls dont like that. All my exes have commented on it. I'm a beach bum who plays videogames and likes to drink.

It's either that or join my state police service and spend around 9 years working extremely hard. Eventually get to the point where through advancing rank and earning merit, they'd consider funding me to do a degree part-time to serve as a prosecutor for a while.
Those are my current ideas anyway. I'm sure they're both terrible haha.
At my last 1on1, my diploma lecturer said I was the top of my class by a fair margin and I love the class content soo... 😅

What you learn in school about the law is basically nothing like what it's actually like being a lawyer, from my experience.
Aren't you outside the US?

Yeah, so I guess I'd be much better off contacting people here to get their opinions and experiences? I imagine most of the people in the legal/lawyer thread are from the US.

I believe you would be correct.
Yep... I will agree to that.

Any reason in particular?
Being a lawyer in the US is a oversaturated market where only the best of the best with no work/life balance have a shot of succeeding in.
It's not as glamorous of a career as it once was.
It's a terrible way of life.
I happen to have a very rare type of legal/tech job that isn't like that. But all of my colleagues are beyond miserable.

So... I'm kinda confused.
How should I know if a girl is interested or she's only being nice to me?
Are there some signs to take note of? I'm on the fence here lol

You'll spend more time anxiously divining signs like an ancient soothsayer than you would getting over any rejection if you just asked her out.

Oh wow, okay thanks for the insight guys, really appreciate it. I won't derail the thread any further
You and I the same, legal/tech. But I think lawyers in Canada are a bit happier? Haha. They still work a LOT, but they seem in decent spirits haha.
Not a lawyer, but I cross paths with many in my line of work. (Canada also). They all seem like tremendously talented and hard-working people. Most are a pleasure to work with. They seem to have terrible work-life balance though. These suckers are regularly sending me emails on the weekends or at all hours of the night. I'm sure they make great money for their efforts but I'm not sure it's worth it.
The happiest lawyers I know cashed out of the big law firm game and now work in government or consulting.
On topic: I enjoy dating lawyers.

Yep, the lawyers are always billing, late at night, on the weekends, etc.
On the flip side, instead of always working, you will always be looking for work in the creative fields

Oh goody, I'm no longer the most successful film/TV major at dating in this thread by default.

Not Canadian either, but I'll contact some family friends who work in legal and see what they have to say.
Psh the scene is just booming in Michigan! >.>On the flip side, instead of always working, you will always be looking for work in the creative fields
Nah you're way ahead of me by default lol
If my boss has her way, software will destroy the paralegal and document review jobs soon enough. Maybe not completely, but getting one person to do the work of seven is coming.
On a date with this one girl, she claimed she'd been flirting with me forever before I asked her out. I asked her "flirting? how?"..."I gave you a little more attention than everyone else!". I didn't notice.
Point is, I knew she was interested because she was willing to date me, not because I deciphered her flirting methods. Ask her out.

You've made accounts on dating sites. You are ahead of me.
0 tinder matches + deleted OkCupid isn't exactly the definition of success
So I asked this gorl out to a concert she said yes but she got sick at the last moment. We were in contact a bit before the concert date. I texted her to ask how she felt but havent gotten texted back. Should I just move on? I bought her something because it was a once in a life time concert. Im debating if i should stii give it to her

We already have a queen of that, it's about time for a king.Let's not have a pity party in here.
Oops, sorry! Maybe a Disneyland bakery is hiring?
Happy Birthday!Let's not have a pity party in here.
EDIT: OKC sent me this email for my birthday lol
Ehhh, I think the crown is JadedWriter's to lose. The begging on a subway platform while wearing an Anime t-shirt....sorry Jaded, that'll take some time for you to recover from.

Emotionally move on. You shouldn't have bought her a damn thing unless it was less than, like, $5. Text her again to reschedule. Then memorize the area code and delete the number from your phone.
Really productive story there. Don't worry; we'll start the pity party soon -- you can grab the crown of thorns from JadedWriter (unless Ldar the Red Piller's lurking in the corner).
Anyway--
You're doing something wrong. Could be (and probably is) pictures. Maybe your bio sucks. Maybe you admittedly live in a shitty rural town without much of a Tinder presence. Or maybe you're swiping on people not statistically likely to match with you.
All of these things are fixable.
Are you seriously asking this question?
I don't work hard at all, but I admittedly hate that aspect of my career. I also don't enjoy dating lawyers, at all. Trust me: you can have them.

Yep, you are right, that will be the fastest and more certain way to know.
Lol
Now that you say this, it could be the same thing happening in my case hahah.
Will ask her out if things keep going smooth.
Seconding this. To me my pictures look fine, and I've had a friend say she likes them. But I have no idea what most women think.

Is there a correlation between relationship status and emojis use?
I've been going between some old messages and I've realized something.
Before relationship: No emojis
Relationship: tons and tons of emojis. Even with non-girlfriend people.
